LALIGA’s Ordinary and Extraordinary General Assembly has formally approved the league’s consolidated annual accounts for the 2024/25 season as well as the proposed income and expenditure budget for 2025/26, following a weighted secret ballot held among the 42 professional clubs. The outcome confirms substantial alignment around the league’s financial strategy at a time when most European competitions face tightening revenue conditions and rising cost pressures.

Strong Voting Margins Reflect Broad Consensus Among Clubs

The 2025/26 income budget received 85.7% approval, equal to 38.6 weighted votes in favour, with 4.2 abstentions and 2.2 votes against. The expenditure budget passed with 88% approval, representing 39.6 votes in favour, 2.2 abstentions and 2.2 against.

The margins indicate that a large majority of clubs continue to support LALIGA’s centralised financial governance and long-term planning approach, including cost-control mechanisms and the collective commercialisation framework.

LALIGA noted that, as in all assemblies, voting was conducted using a secure electronic system designed to maintain autonomy, privacy and independent decision-making for each club.

Financial Governance Reinforced in a Challenging Market

The approval comes shortly after LALIGA secured €6.135 billion in domestic broadcasting revenues for the upcoming five-year cycle (2027/28–2031/32), a 9% increase on the previous term. The strong assembly vote suggests clubs view recent financial outcomes as validation of the league’s commercial strategy and central rights management.

Tebas Emphasises Stability and Long-Term Vision LALIGA

LALIGA President Javier Tebas stated that the wide support demonstrates “confidence in LALIGA’s financial management” and reiterated the league’s intention to maintain a long-term, sustainability-focused approach. The statement aligns with LALIGA’s broader positioning: prioritising responsible cost structures, predictability for clubs and protection of revenue streams.
